The American people voted overwhelmingly in 2006 to end the war in Iraq. Over 60% of the people want the war to end as rapidly as possible. But the Bush administration has made it clear that they will not respect the majority opinion.
The war cannot be won with military force and only serves to put our troops needlessly in harm’s way and wastes billions of dollars that could be much better used at home to solve problems like health care and Social Security.
We call on Congress to continue their oversight responsibility and to work to bring the troops home and end the war as rapidly as possible.
We also call on Congress to really support the troops by guaranteeing full and increased funding for veterans benefits and health care. We call on Congress to enact a new GI Bill that will truly provide funds for returning veterans for education, home ownership and financial help for restarting their lives and taking care of their families when they come home.
Resolution passed by SOAR Chapter 31-9

I have kin in the war and I am not very pleased with that fact. Our fearless leader has placed our troops in harm's way by incompetence and politics. This is something voters should remember next election cycle.
